I see all your FD guys getting rid of your twin turbos to get a single turbo...mine FC has a single turbo to start with lol hence I went with an FC, plus I don\'t need any cats blocking the turbo lol

Whatever:2Rolleyes And your point is???   Most owners upgrade to a  \'large\' single turbo because they either have a good opertunity for a good deal on a single tubby, or they want more than 400bhp which is very much the limit on the stock twins... thats something the stock \'small\' turbo on an fc will never ever do . Also do you really think most of the twin turbo guys on here are running the cat?? and the single turbo guys for that matter??

shhh lol im having a midlife crisis at 21 as I have just bought my FC lol

[mikeyh]

im not going single and never would.love the kick up the arse at 4.5k.
and i dont have a cat or even centre section to block the gases lol

Iv just finished removing my stock twins and replacing them with some knight sports ones.
Removal was a brease taking just 4 hrs but fitting was a different matter, make sure you put everything back on in the order you took it off, i put my downpipe back on last as i had to get a new gasket so everything was dun before i got it sorted, the top rear nut for the down pipe i found almost imposible to get in :O
and the front oil return nut was also as hard (both nuts took me about 2hrs each to get in) maybe i was just unlucky.
Also make sure all the nuts on the turbo pack are tight as somebody i know had to do the whole process again as he left a oil feed nut loose and it leaked :|
Anyway the job aint that hard just fiddly and time consuming, but that said it was also very satisfying to drive with nice new knight sports tubs on

[rico2k_uk]

taking them off was a nightmare for me! however, putting the new ones back in were pretty easy.. just quite difficult to line up the turbos when your working on them on your own with the car only on axle stands!! yeah, almost forgot to tighten up the oil return lines, but when i was fitting the actuators back, i remembered, and got in nice and easy. hopefully not much to do left, but will be interesting to try and remember where all the hoses, etc go!! gave me a good excuse to do a full service also

[Hayward North]

Yer did mine on axel stands and i did it on my own as well so i know your pain :rollin
Anyway been driving mine for about 4 days now and all is good
I also did a few jobs while i was in there, including porting the wastgate on the new knight sports tubs and changing the radiator hoses for nice new samco ones.
Really happy with the results to press but at 1bar i run out of fuel only having flowed stock injectors so i feel a injector upgrade coming along as im planing on running about 1.1 bar.
